Prologue Part 2: The Faults Crack and Break!
Stanford had just gotten back from practicing on the old track and parked his car at Zeke's dinner. What freaked him out was someone grabbed him from behind and shoved him in a car.
This woman was lovely gray hair with a cute freckle on her weirdly not so wrinkled face.
She angrily looked at Stanford with fury in her eyes.
"Crazy women why did you do that? Who are you?"
"I'm Crazy Zeke's wife and you need to stay quiet and I'll explain."
The confused red head sighed, "Ok I have a go at it…What you do that for?"
She smirked and smacked Stanford in the face like a brick, then pounded his groin and chest. "Now that was my personal answer to what you did to my baby niece Laurel."
Stanford looked shocked "What you know?"
"Yes and it was not easy for her to lie, but she's the worst liar everyone figured it out eventually."
"What did you shove me in the seat for?"
"What do you think my husband wants to kill you he just found out."
"What?" Stanford said almost scream "Oh great now I have done it."
"You can bet that, I would kill you myself however I won't for I know something she does not want any of us telling you about though I'm sure it won't be that hard for you to put it together."
She smirked down at the red English boy who gave her a dumb founded look "My lord I guess it is hard for you to figure out. Well I will not be the one to tell my darling niece who trust me the secret she needs to tell you herself. But I'll give you warning if I could I would, and if you two hadn't had this happen well I would have killed you easily already without warnings."
Stanford gulped but he was hushed before he could speak, the women clicked something that looked like a gun "Holy shit your going to kill your husband."
She smirked and combed back a loose hair behind her ear "Of course not I'm no cruel women I'm only tranquilizing my foolish husband he needs to calm down and he'll be fine. I'll make sure he understands that he won't come near you at least for now. I want to see what you do after she tells you her secret. If you react wrongly both him and I will come and kill you so this is also a warning, but till then my husband will be subdued and he'll know what I'll do if he tries to hurts the love of niece."
She slams the door shut.
"Nora where is he, I know that's his car now Damn it women tell me where he is I'm going to kill the Dick I'm going to kill him without a sign of hope!"
"Zeke you kill him and I'll harm you severely!"
"Nora you hid him in your car didn't you?"
"Charles Zeke Dillian you stop this instant!" she screams and shoots the gun, a large thud is heard outside as well as the sound of a gun clanking as it hit the ground.
A knock came on the car door and Nora Dillian opens the vehicle. Again, she brushes back a loose hair and lets out a breath "I'm sorry for my husband he can be and ass at best. He'll be fine, you can leave now and know that whenever my great niece does contact you again which we all pray she does soon, well just make sure you listen."
Stanford gets out of the women's car and helps her put her unconscious husband back in the vehicle. He wished he had a camera Zeke looked weirdly adorable when he slept he would so make fun of Zeke back at base with his friends because of this.
The women waved her hand at Stanford "Make sure you make the right decision or I'll be coming back with him and well both be having real guns. Listen to my niece when she next talks to you. And Stanford do take care."
Before Stanford could reply she got in the car and closed the door, driving to the road but before she turned she rolled down the window. "Of and Stanford I think its best you avoid my husband's dinner for a while, don't come near for a week or two…Maybe three I can't promise that if you come sooner than that, he will not try to kill you."
She drove off as a car went in front and then disappeared making her way for a town that was forty miles away.
Stanford stood there both shaken and confused, he knew when Zeke said he'd kill him if they had sex that he would. But he was more confused that this meant something totally different as well, as he sat there and wondered what possibly could Laurel be hiding from him, his hunger soon took over and he forgot all about most of the events except the fact that Zeke was wanting him literally dead and was on a mad hunting crazy for him, that he needed to avoid the dinner for at least three weeks.
However he would forget all about the secret that Laurel was going ot tell him, that is until the day she told him what this secret was a long time after this incident.
Months turned by till it was February, and the closer Laurel got to the time she would leave the more hesitstant she was about calling the man she loved and telling him everything. She knew he would find out and either hate her for life or would be thrilled at hearing the news if she told him or not, it was the two heart throbbing headache making results she could not bear to stand having.
She tapped her cell phone on her desk like she did every day as the children played outside during recess, screaming and laughing it made her feel more real to the point that she was going to raise these babies. Maybe I would quiet being a mechanic and stay here to teach and also be a mother.
Laurel loved helping the world's children in poorer countries learn she loved how connected she got in the lives of her children. Many of the mothers were helping her figure out her pregnancy and prepare her, one of her best friends from a local village made her with many of the mothers a how to raise a child guide and it was huge she'd not only use this as a guide but a weight lifter to get herself tone again.
She did not want to leave her friends in Chad she found it a happy place to work and be out of the stresses of the modern world but with people, you could build larger bonds with.
Only months before had she finally allowed her parents and grandma to tell the rest of the family the news and show the daily pictures she sent them.
She even asked her cousins also known as her first cousins once removed as they were her bapa's youngest children to be her child's Godparents if anything should ever happen to her.
They all were getting set for the new daughters to the family and were all thrilled for the soon to be new arrivals. As Laurel choose the name of her first daughter to be Elaine Hopeful Starlight, she desided to take a different route for her second daughter, the second she chose to be a surprise name as she wanted her second daughter to be a spontaneous name. Perhaps if I let the father know I will let him pick a name that fits her, I'm sure my second daughter will seem like him I just have the feeling. She thought as she taped her cell phone against the desk counting the seconds to make the excuse not to call him, a month or two before she was due.
The only thing was everyone encouraged her to tell the father, even her great aunt who told her stories of rescuing her children's father. Then how her great uncle had, to be sedated by her great aunt in order to not tell Stanford and kill him for taking her virginity if not kill him for getting her hung over. She loved her great aunt Nora Bleach Dillian, she took care of her no matter what and knew how to control her over acting over imaginative husband with a military sergeant temper.
Finally, as she saw there were five minutes before the kids would start coming in, Laurel flipped her cell phone up and pressed the dial key for his number and hit send. She decided it could not hurt to try, the call would be short, and he would most likely be asleep and not realize what she was saying. Hearing her heart pound like she suddenly was hearing drums she heard each ring ring and fade but her heart drowned out its sound as sweet trickled her face.
"Please don't pick up don't pick up…if you know what's good for you don't you fucking pick up!" she whispered to which the daughters in her stomach even seemed to disagree with her like everyone else and kicked her for what she was praying.
Loud music was heard in the background playing she was sure it was 'The Boys of Summer', which fit him if not them as it became the background music instead of a ring, that was more like him to have music, and that was one reason she loved him, instead of boys who had the annoying ring that would this moment drive her bonkers and up the wall.
Then it stopped, loud rock music was heard in the back then a voice, "Hey this is Stanford Isaac Rhodes IV, and I can't come to the bloody phone right now as I'm just blasting my jams but please leave your name and all that junk any who's if you're my fucking brother stick your mouth up you know where. Or I may be ignoring the call and am too lazy to get it. In any case just tell me what's up and I will get to you soon Bye bye and talk latter, chero chaps"
At the tone please record your message when you have finished recording you may hang up or press one for more options to leave a call back number please press six, BEEP
"Hello…" Laurel sighs and looks to the blue sky with such lovely puffy clouds that sat beyond the window the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow played in her head as she wished to be a bluebird today that would fly away to the clouds on such a lovely day, the day before Valentine's day, "Hello…Stan Stan..Stanley…"
She coughed starting to sound serious like her mother on a business call which made her almost throw up, "Stanford it's me…Rell Rell Relle…I mean Laurel Starlight…hu…Stanford I prayed you wouldn't answer but now feel terrible I didn't tell you sooner I'm…Hu…Stanford it would be just better to say this to your face but I…I can't I can't say this without talking to you I…"
A sound of shooting on the other end is heard and an out of breath Stanford is heard heavily panting.
Laurel was surprised and showed it in her eyes she honestly had no clue what he was doing but figured it was his racing job, the thing was it would be near midnight back home and she was surprised the drama king was out this late working and wondered what the gunshots were about.
"Oh I'm sorry did I call during work I thought cause of time differences I wouldn't be getting in the way of work as it should be night there."
"Uh yeah love it's a race track they wanted us to test out but a shooting field is nearby and a game seems to be still going as there's several tied…" Stanford lied through his teeth knowing he could not tell the women he loves what he truly does. "But…uh…well…what's up I was hearing what you said I'm fine I prefer calls or anything I haven't heard from you in forever.
"You know why." She said sternly and coldly telling him it was part of the agreement to their separate lives their families did not want them together from the start so they finally choose to listen.
"You sounded…Scratch that you sound so stern and serious love what's up?"
She pauses for an extremely long time looking to the sunny day and bites her lip. She watches the clock go by sever times as she hears more scratching and wheels she doesn't pay attention to what is heard in the background on the other end of the phone, so she doesn't care and believes Stanford horrid lie.
"I…I've..no I have needed to tell you something for quite a few months now and just thought I'd let you know I was scared of telling you for the way things could go."
Suddenly back in the war Stanford was fighting in the Multiverses the memory of what her great Aunt Nora had warned him and told him of a hard secret the love his heart still longed to have forever with warned him about. The words 'Listen when you next talk….Listen carefully' echoed through his mind several times, as she paused in the middle of the battle between reds and some shark Vandals. He looked utterly shocked and dumbfounded at the same time.
"Stop over thinking stuff all the time just go with it." Stamford laughed trying to add some sweetness to the moment.
"Will you listen to me I'm absolutely trying here but your making it fucking harder to fucking tell you a damn mouth assing word! WILL YOU SIMPLY SHITING SHUT THE HELL UP!" She screams right before a child walks in the door. She blushes apple red and looks ashamed as she sighs and asks the cute little boy with short curly hair and a sweetheart face any girl would later die for. "Did you hear any of that?"
"A little" he said as he raised his shoulders as if he was saying he did not know.
"Hu please don't tell your parents or anyone what you heard forget those words you heard and never repeat them ok promise me."
"I promise Ms. S" the boy said with a sly smirk as he made his way to his desk.
"Thanks Navine." She said with a pleased and happy smile that would brighten any room.
"Who's that?"
"A boy who just walked in after that spill, he's one of the boys I teach."
"What happened to mechanics?"
"It had to legally be put on hold or I would be fired for going against the law.'
"What do you mean?"
"Hu this isn't easy to say Stanford."
She looks at the clock wishing time would be up and they would not be talking for long so that she would not have to tell him.
"It's alright take your time I have as much time as I need." She rolled her eyes stating the words 'Great' and 'That helps!' in her head.
"Stanford you may want to drop out of practice for a moment to hear this."
"I will in a sec I kind of in a tight spot I can't get out for now, just tell me I won't be able to stop." She sighed deeply and pouted but let the words roll off her lips before she could speak them preparing her body for its moment of truth.
Finally, she pouted the words out of suggestion for the father of her children's health. "Ok that's fine with what your job is, but you should take a rest in a second it will make you freeze I'm serious."
He sighs over the phone, knowing whatever it was this was her dyer voice, and it was a very serious matter, one that was not a laughing matter. He knew that this was something that would change their lives possibly, as it was the same one she used to tell him that even if he would go against his parents she would not let him, her parents would not let her be with him, and she how she could not break her parents, his parents, or his heart.
For the few times in his life and time ever knowing one of his true best friends that was always there for him even in spirit he felt utter butterflies in his stomach, almost feeling like he was going ot hurl over his vehicle because of the way she spoke.
"What is it?" He said after taking a deep breath in and holding a grimmer look on his face as he just shocked one of the Vandel Shark monsters, and he sound wave pulsed at his arch enemy Kyrosys.
She took a deep sigh and breathed in "Stanford..I'm…I am…Stanford when we did it in your car something happened and it may have been both of our first times, but I'm afraid to tell you whether you like it or not…Stanford you will be a..no you are…or soon…will be…ugh for crying out loud why is it so freaking F'ing hard to tell you?"
"It's ok love take your time, I have all the time in the world for you always." For Laurel this just made it worst, if they were in the same room not only because of her pregnant hormones she would rip his head off.
"I have class soon I don't have time, the children are already filling in."
"Still you have time." He laughed a slight laugh to try to cheer her up but this time it did not work and made the moment harder if not worst of her.
"Just spit it out love."
"Ok then" she said sternly before turning quiet and holding her head by her arm that was resting on her desk she quietly whispers like she was about to cry "Stan…Stan…your goi….going…going to be a…"
"Hu you're a father."
It took Stanford a second as he glued a puzzled look with a high eye brow raised while the other one was low and his mouth was open about to drool, it took a minute for him to think the words through a thousand times. He had to mouth the word before he started to echo them aloud. "You're going to be a father…You will be a father…A father….A FATHER! OH MY GOSH LAUREL YOUR PREGNANT AND I'M….AND I'M GOING….GOING TO…TO…TO….TO…BE…BE…BE..BE…" He could not believe his ears and thought for a moment he was dreaming, which would make sense he missed her voice and dreaming of her calling him was frequent that and being in bed with her.
He pauses and almost opens his car all the way but instead he suddenly gets his loud speaker on originally only meant for his teammates his arrogant self forgot his enemy's would find out if he did this. "Oh my GOSH YOU GUYS YOU WILL NEVER Damn guess this…Laurel's pregnant I'm going to be a father.
He accidently in his daze forgot to turn off his speaker, which could be embarrassing.
Everyone Sentient, Vandal and human alike froze in battle and left the terrain to silence no one could believe their ears and thought for a moment he was bluffing, not in a million years did anyone think the arrogant red head would be a father especially at his age. However, it then took a couple minutes for several of either flank to realize how that was not to unbelievable with how arrogant he was it would be no surprise that he got a girl hung over.
"Stan Stan…Stanly I'm pregnant with our daughter..." She could not not yet tell him she was having two children she wanted to tell him when he was done racing then she would explain she had twins.
"OH MY GOSH I HAVE A DAUGHTER I don't care what my damn parents say or what class you are I'll marry you like I've wanted to do since the day I met you. Rell Rell where are you?"
"That's the thing I'm still in Chad, I'm here at a school teaching, soon I'll have to get off the phone I'm coming home in a couple days you can meet me at my parents again and won't kill you like Bapa…"
"Shott you know about that."
"Of course I'm super tight with my great aunt Nora and she's the reason you survived, you forget, she told me everything. I will give you directions to mama and pap's house when I get back to the states. But I don't want you leaving your family, I'm still not worth it."
Stanford was so quick to respond to her statement it was like lighting hitting the ground. "Relly Rell Rell your worth everything who cares if I get disowned I can start out fresh with you like we always wanted like what we planned when we wanted to elope. I'll cross oceans for you just please I want to be there for our child our daughter I want to be her father like I should be and help raise her and keep any boys away from her."
She laughs, "Better you know how my family is and you'd better be very sure she waits until marriage unlike us or my mom and her mother." She laughs but then goes back to her serious voice and expressions.
Laurel deeply sighed and massaged her forehead with her thumb going in circles, "I…I better go…"
"Wait no I'm going to be there soon I can get there in a second I want to see you."
"Please Stan Stan I've got a class to teach there waiting for me."
Indeed the class was waiting for her they all were eagerly watching her more entranced in her call, the girls were all giving her thumbs up for telling him and were romantically making stories of the life she would have giggling like little girls do.
Suddenly gun shots were heard outside, the children all stopped there giggles and fun, some girls screamed while everyone looked scared at the window covered in painted paper and children's drawn art.
"Oh shit!" She said as she had a dear in the headlights look. "Kids get away from the doors and window, Stan I need to go the damn cunting raiders like the ones that attacked Opera Winfrey's school two times. Shit this is not good…"
She drops her phone on the deck and tells the kids "OK crawl quickly to the closet it will lead you to the safe basement lock the doors behind you, where's my TA's…"
"Right here." A teenage voice was heard as the young just past eighteen girl and boy raised there hands and came to the teacher.
"Maria and Tyler take the children down there you know how to use a gun, you may be new to the military but use your knowledge and protect the innocent. Now quickly and don't forget to barge those doors closed."
She helps rush the children from farther away into the closet and she yells "That's everyone lock it now."
They nod their heads and look worried at their teacher "I'll be fine now go. Fly you fools." They close the door with several locks are heard, before another lock is heard the final lock from the underground door that is well hidden, then silence.
"Laurel don't tell me it's those damn desert terrorists the M. Fuckers please can you get to safety?"
"No I have to stay and make sure the kids aren't rapped or killed I've locked the doors but…"
Several shots are heard being fired and she makes a sudden sound "Ugh."
Then, the sound of a thud and nothing else but gun fire, screams, and shots people running.
As soon as Stanford heard, the first shot he burst out of the battle without warning telling Vert he had to go although everyone could hear what happened and they knew it wasn't good. Even the Reds were not as cruel to attack children nor anyone carrying, nor did the Vandals believe carriers were to be harmed when pregnant.
Sure casualties happened on accident but that was war.
"Sage can you open up a portal to earth this is dyer."
"I heard I've already gotten started."
He paused and let his jaw drop as he raced through the forest planet wondering how she heard this.
"Everyone heard you forgot to turn your speakers off, I know my brother won't let anyone come after you if he truly heard that, even he has a heart for children and pregnant women he will let you go try to save her."
"Thanks Sage I don't know if I've ever told you how great you are."
"You can thank me later..."
"In the meantime I'm trying to find what I can on the school shooting I'll let you know." Came Tezz's Russian accented voice. No one knew except for Agura who was the bridesmaid, that the two eloped in Las Vegas only two months before on New Years.
Only a few seconds later Tezz came back and responded on the communicator "Seems like the military showed up and killed or chased the gang away no major casualties they didn't get in the school some faculty were killed or injured."
"Who's on the killed list?"
"They don't have the names yet I'll let you know."
A minute of silence fell in the jungle when Stanford finally realized the girl he truly always dreamed of may be gone, and he was the dumb ass that let her go instead of getting on a plane to meet her or making her stay. He let her go, and knew they would never see each other again. Even then he respected her wishes, 'What am I doing she was and still is my whole world and now she might as well be gone or will soon be.' He thought as wet liquid began to form in his emerald green eyes.
Stanford started to cry into his wheel this time making sure his speaker system was off. "Lord don't take Laurel not tonight please let your beautiful angel stay on earth even for a few more years that way I can treasure the years with her instead of being apart."
It took five more minutes of his body becoming overly week from his crying of his possible loss and waiting for any news. Before actual news or conversation on the intercom was heard.
"Stanford I've got good news and bad." The Russian boy Tezz and Sage said together.
"Give me both I need to hear them whatever they are." He sobbed into his arms not caring for the world if she was gone he might as well end his life as well, she had always been his reason to live and now she was gone he was sure that's what they were going to say.
"Ok the bad news first, it seems they found Laurel she bravely did fight off one or two actually killing them from the looks of it and the children she protected are safe but the bad news is she was found with several gunshot wounds and is in critical condition. She's been placed on a jet back to the states to get the medical care both she and the baby needs. At the moment they don't' know if the baby is going to make it or if the baby died. The good news is she is on a jet being shipped to the top military hospital since she is a member, in the country. The bad news is the critical condition, the baby's unknown condition and the level of her injuries. They don't know if she will make it." Tezz answered to Stanfords question regretting every moment of it and for the few times in his life wishing he would not tell the truth or facts for this was going to be hard for his naive British friend.
"How fast can you get me there?"
"You first have to get to the base but as for getting there it may be twenty to an hour were not sure."
"Just please get me the bloody ass to the hub so I can have a possibility of getting to her."
Suddenly the spacebridge opened and he rushed through as it closed behind him and he entered the base of the hub at such dangerous speeds.
"Can I see the report?" he demands as he jumps out of his vehicle frantic for any sign of life from the news.
"This is what we have so far." Sage says very monotone and somberly she is grieving for what she predicts will be a loss and heavy loss on her friend it may have even been best if that day she and Agura went with the girls, they told them of her human form and had them come to thy took the men with them to the beach, for at least he would not have to suffer at all.
On the medical military plane the doctors rush to save the women they know to be one of theirs and pregnant.
The nurses and doctors franticly work to get the bleeding under control until they can thoroughly try to save her life.
The girl groans as she's not as sedated as she should be due to her pregnancy "My baby save my babies." She groans in a groggy hard to hear voice.
"Well do the best we can."
"Let the…the father..Stan..Stanford…know please" she coughs before continuing.
"Save Elaine I named her Elaine Hopeful for a reason she'll be hopeful." The women cough as the nurse hushes her and tells her to save her energy and not talk, "Let…let my other daughter be a spontaneous name he makes up…tell him I…I..Love him…please." as the doctor sticks her with some knock out drug so she will be out. She suddenly falls into her own unconsciousness.
As the next thing she saw before passing out again was passing of lights on a ceiling rushing above and past her, as she is rushed through the long passage to the emergency room and she slips once more to her final unconsciousness.
Da Da Da…
Didn't I tell you that and unexpected event would happen and this is just the begging there is more horrendous stuff to come so stay toned.
Will the babies survive? Is Laurel going to make it? Will Stanford get to her on time? Will they become a couple? What about The Battle Force Five reactions? STAY TOONED.
Oh AND IF Anyone was really wanting to see Stanford shot by Zeke don't worry that is coming I decided not to have it so soon but he will get shot don't worry... ;) Smiling and laughing evily wiht my best friend... Yep it will be pure comedy when that happens. ;)
Note I will add In coming chapters more descriptions on Sage and Tezz's relationship, as well as Vert and Agura in a couple chapters.
Sneak Peak into the next chapter:
'Finally, several more machines were tuned on, but Stanford could not care what that meant, as soon as he saw the grave faces on the doctors, he knew there was no hope. So his body floated and glided down to the floor finally keeling over and crying his heart out, while all his friends could do was try to comfort him. Sage ran down and held her friend like a crying child, as many others joined in helping her hold him rubbing his back or going along in some comforting fashion.'
Da Da Da, find out why he's crying…Don't worry there's always a light in the darkness ;)
